An Ever-Welcome Visitor
Glory To God In The Highest
behold in that country there were shepherds
the field, keeping' watch over their Hock by
"And
abiding- iii
night."
Not t6 the rliler. of the land, not to the proud of
heart, but to the humble of spirit did. the heavenly host
appear oh that Night of Nights. It was the simple shepherds Watching' ,on a rocky hillside in Judea who first
heard the" angel song' — "Glory to God in the highest and
on earth, peace, good will to men."
"Glory to God" is a paean of praise to the All-Highest,
an acknowledgment, a recognition (of Him who is the fount
of all goodness. "Glory to God" is not — and must never
be — iriere lip' service, but a cry of exaltation, a full awareness that right and justice, truth and love must prevail
finally, even if at long last, over the forces of evil and
destruction.
"And on earth .peace" does not mean "at any price,"
a servile acquiescence to might, a compromise of honor,
of appeasement at another's expense — but a peace founded
ion justice to all, a peace of joy, a peace of good will to all
men. Not to any one'group was the promise made — not
to any one- creeds to 'any one race, to any one nationality,
to any one political party, but to and for all mankind.
This is the te&soh of the angels' song. Only as we give
glory and honor unto whom it i.s due — not to man-made
rulers, not to ambition, pride-or selfish desires, but to Him
to whom, we owe our. first allegiance can we attain peace
on earth. Only ias we let the Eternal Goodness, the All-
Powerful,: the All-Wise, the All-Loving .Father of all mankind, rule our lives, can we have good will to men.
If, and when'we do this, then like the shepherds keeping watch under the stars on that night so lonjy ago, we,
too, may hear the herald a,ngels sing: "Fear not; for be-
Jiold I bring you,good tidings iof great joy, which shall be
to all people. For unto you is bom this day in the city of
David, a Saviour which is Christ the Lord."
"And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude
Of the heavenly hosts praising God and saying, 'Glory to
God ih the Highest, and on earth, peace, good will toward
men."
Religion In Our Lives
In the training of seeing eye dogs, one of the greatest
difficulties, we understand, is the lifting of the dog's eye
level.
The eye level of the dog is about 18 inches, but the
eye level of tlife person whom it will be leading may be
five feet or more. An obstruction crossing the path of a
man at six.feet.is of no basic concern to an 18-inch-high
dog. An intettse' period of training must be provided to
liit the eye level o'f the dog so that its attention is focused
on a higher plane.
And this is a problenr"that exists for man as well as
for the animal being trained as a seeing eye dog.
Wherever there is a slum, or juvenile delinquency, or
unfair treatment of our fellow man, or a lack of concern
for the needs of others — there humanity's eye level needs
lifting.
The Religion in American Life program calls our attention to the. fact that woi'ship helps lift our eye level and
our spiritual level as well. It urges all of us to lift our
life by worsipping regularly at the church or synagogue
of our choice.
Leapfrog In Space
The United States and Russia appear to be engaged
in a kind of leapfrog- in space. The Russians perform some
striking feat, and we go a bit beyond it, and ithe Russians
come again, and so on.
Tliis is exemplified in efforts to get a closer look at
nearby planets. Tlie United States Venus capsule has been
hurtling along for several weeks now, and is expected tc
pass by the misty planet in about mid-December. Recently
the Russians launched a capsule which is expected to scan
Mars about seven months hence.
East-West rivalries aside, there is something magnificent about this push into the void that encompasses our
little earth; There may even come out of this, at first re-
hwrkantly, the sort of cooperation and sharing of data that
will be needed when man begins to make a serious assault
on the solar system.
At this stage, perhaps, it makes sense for the two
rocket powers to conduct separate experiments. But the
day will come whan the magnitude of space undertakings
will demand a pooling of mankind's resources. That da>
may not be many years off.

indicated thev would favor the
petition, subject to the petitioner's meeting certain .stipulations.

area in line with public desire.

James asked what could be done
if signers of the petition, approving the proposed change,
were to change their minds.
Mr. Mylett suggested that a
counter petition could be introduced at the meeting Council
would be giving third reading
of the ordinance.
When the petition a,sking the
change came before the Zoning
Board of Appeals, it received
a 3-1 '"yes" vote, Council iPresi-
dent Charles Strausser reported.
The lone negative vote came
from R'^hard Waltenbaugh.
The first hearing dealt with
a request bv C. H. Holl to have
the lot at 2o Schneider Rd. zoned commercial. The land has
been used for commercial purposes for several years, but
came into 'North Canton under
the recent annexation as residential zoned, property.

An Ever-Welcome Visitor
Glory To God In The Highest
behold in that country there were shepherds
the field, keeping' watch over their Hock by
"And
abiding- iii
night."
Not t6 the rliler. of the land, not to the proud of
heart, but to the humble of spirit did. the heavenly host
appear oh that Night of Nights. It was the simple shepherds Watching' ,on a rocky hillside in Judea who first
heard the" angel song' — "Glory to God in the highest and
on earth, peace, good will to men."
"Glory to God" is a paean of praise to the All-Highest,
an acknowledgment, a recognition (of Him who is the fount
of all goodness. "Glory to God" is not — and must never
be — iriere lip' service, but a cry of exaltation, a full awareness that right and justice, truth and love must prevail
finally, even if at long last, over the forces of evil and
destruction.
"And on earth .peace" does not mean "at any price,"
a servile acquiescence to might, a compromise of honor,
of appeasement at another's expense — but a peace founded
ion justice to all, a peace of joy, a peace of good will to all
men. Not to any one'group was the promise made — not
to any one- creeds to 'any one race, to any one nationality,
to any one political party, but to and for all mankind.
This is the te&soh of the angels' song. Only as we give
glory and honor unto whom it i.s due — not to man-made
rulers, not to ambition, pride-or selfish desires, but to Him
to whom, we owe our. first allegiance can we attain peace
on earth. Only ias we let the Eternal Goodness, the All-
Powerful,: the All-Wise, the All-Loving .Father of all mankind, rule our lives, can we have good will to men.
If, and when'we do this, then like the shepherds keeping watch under the stars on that night so lonjy ago, we,
too, may hear the herald a,ngels sing: "Fear not; for be-
Jiold I bring you,good tidings iof great joy, which shall be
to all people. For unto you is bom this day in the city of
David, a Saviour which is Christ the Lord."
"And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude
Of the heavenly hosts praising God and saying, 'Glory to
God ih the Highest, and on earth, peace, good will toward
men."
Religion In Our Lives
In the training of seeing eye dogs, one of the greatest
difficulties, we understand, is the lifting of the dog's eye
level.
The eye level of the dog is about 18 inches, but the
eye level of tlife person whom it will be leading may be
five feet or more. An obstruction crossing the path of a
man at six.feet.is of no basic concern to an 18-inch-high
dog. An intettse' period of training must be provided to
liit the eye level o'f the dog so that its attention is focused
on a higher plane.
And this is a problenr"that exists for man as well as
for the animal being trained as a seeing eye dog.
Wherever there is a slum, or juvenile delinquency, or
unfair treatment of our fellow man, or a lack of concern
for the needs of others — there humanity's eye level needs
lifting.
The Religion in American Life program calls our attention to the. fact that woi'ship helps lift our eye level and
our spiritual level as well. It urges all of us to lift our
life by worsipping regularly at the church or synagogue
of our choice.
Leapfrog In Space
The United States and Russia appear to be engaged
in a kind of leapfrog- in space. The Russians perform some
striking feat, and we go a bit beyond it, and ithe Russians
come again, and so on.
Tliis is exemplified in efforts to get a closer look at
nearby planets. Tlie United States Venus capsule has been
hurtling along for several weeks now, and is expected tc
pass by the misty planet in about mid-December. Recently
the Russians launched a capsule which is expected to scan
Mars about seven months hence.
East-West rivalries aside, there is something magnificent about this push into the void that encompasses our
little earth; There may even come out of this, at first re-
hwrkantly, the sort of cooperation and sharing of data that
will be needed when man begins to make a serious assault
on the solar system.
At this stage, perhaps, it makes sense for the two
rocket powers to conduct separate experiments. But the
day will come whan the magnitude of space undertakings
will demand a pooling of mankind's resources. That da>
may not be many years off.

Mr. Mylett suggested that a
